Real success is longevity

Wow it's been  a while a while since my last blog...with so much facebook it's been neglected, my apologies.

Whitney Houston passed away this week and truly a wasted talent. I went to a Rod Stewart concert the other night and he is well into his 60's.

I could not help but marvel at the sell out crowd and at how much fun he was having, he was in great shape and shared his stage appearance with his family. Still rocking and still enjoying life!

In martial arts I have some great role models....Ernie Reyes Snr in his 70's and still in amazing shape, check out Joon Rhee  doing a workout who is into his 80's and it's WOW.

Many people ask me about success and I have to say real success is long lasting and as I am about to turn 55 I am so grateful that I can enjoy each and everyday with some fantastic people in an industry I love so much...the martial arts.

Wishing you longevity

Just another excuse?

Avoid the  phrase  I don't have time... "will help you realise you don't have time needed for just about everything you choose to accomplish in life" 2012 is My 30th year of teaching and you can only imagine the excuses I have heard over this amazing journey! I don't have time has to be up there and YES it is just another excuse.If there is a will there is always a way...if you did not have time to stop for fuel what would happen to you car? But that's different I hear you say? Your body is your car,your vehicle for life and so many don't have time,what is scary I have seen many have a major health scare and all of a sudden they find time to change their lifestyle habits. They are the lucky ones; for some it's just too late.....moral of the story? Stop making excuses and make positive life changes when in good health to maintain and improve it...let it be YOU to decide your lifestyle choices not your unfortunate circumstances!

Life is as good as you make it

I had an absolutely great weekend! Yes I was pleased that Corey "Major" Nelson won his 10th MMA bout. Although I am so very happy for Corey's well deserved result it is about much much more. We had a great support team that included Shabe Kafo,Grant Jones,our official strapper was even there Ms Kathryn. How did we celebrate?  well it was in the early hours of the morning we ended up sitting in a great cafe called " Chappelli's" shared a great meal and simply chatted about people and about KMA. It was unusual how we ended up on this line of praising and we celebrated not just the win but how we are all surrounded by great people and training to win in the game of life. Our lives could have turned out so differently without the martial arts, but hey here we are! Life is more than good, its great simply because we made the right choices!
